Abstract:
A short, free, authentic classroom professional development video on teaching essay writing. Students learn how to write an essay, how to: brainstorm ideas for the topic they are presented with, organize the ideas, write a topic sentence, and write an introductory and concluding paragraph. They also learn what to expect in the testing situation, for example, that the topic is given, that they have to brainstorm ideas without getting blocked, and that they will not have time to draft and re-copy a final essay. Although the GED 2014 series exam does not include a writing test as such, some of the strategies may be useful for the writing sections of the exam. Also, this approach may be useful for other high school equivalency exams such as the TASC and the HiSET. In this lesson students are given this topic: What qualities do you think make up a good employer? Write an essay that identifies the qualities you think a good employer has, giving specific examples to back up your ideas.-

Abstract:
This lesson plan is for a segment of a session spent with a workplace literacy student. See full curriculum at: http://adultresource.coabe.org/resources/workplace-literacy-curriculum This is a sample lesson plan of activities to help ESOL students prepare for entry-level jobs in our community. Pick and choose activities suitable to your student's goals and skills. These activities are designed to be adaptable to varying levels and easily modifiable to fit your unique student's skills. Start off each meeting by talking with your student, informally determining how much of the previous meeting they recall and what they want out of that day's meeting. This is also a chance to practice and assess your student's greetings and small talk skills, critical components of getting along with coworkers. This informal chit-chat- could take anywhere from 5-10 minutes of a one hour meeting. Each meeting might include two to four topics and should incorporate a variety of activities to develop the student's reading, speaking, and listening skills in English. Be aware that some activities may be tiring because of the amount of language included. It is okay to cover a topic repeatedly for shorter periods of time, ensuring long-term comprehension. Unfortunately some activities are straight memorization and cannot be made as engaging as other topics. Be aware of your student's engagement level and fatigue. If you are having success with an activity, do not feel like you need to stop after a given amount of time. An engaged and happy student will be a better learner! Basic Materials that may be useful in addition to materials for activities: whiteboard with markers, notebook to take notes during your lesson and to store lesson plans for planning future sessions, index cards (covered in contact paper to preserve them for regular use), baggies, sharpies

Abstract:
Education and lifelong learning are the keys to opportunity for individuals and communities at large. The enactment of the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) has reauthorized educational and workforce development policies. In the next couple of years, WIOA will require a shift in the delivery of adult education literacy instruction and workforce development. Libraries are at the cornerstone of this legislative and are among the most accessible institutions both public and academic libraries reach all populations. Thus, the outreach capabilities that libraries bring to the table make them a crucial partner to assist with the implementation of WIOA core principles. This workshop will provide attendees with the tools to create a sustainable partnership with both pubic libraries and community colleges libraries. Through strong partnerships attendees will be able to accelerate learning and distribute skills and knowledge; and can add depth and breadth the community using legislative set forth under WIOA. This pre-conference will be a mix of facilitated discussions followed by hands-on activities using successful examples of libraries and community-based organizations. Participants will have an opportunity to perform a SWOT analysis of their respective programs and a library. The attendees will not be required to have any prior knowledge of creating partnerships. You will gain new skills to utilize at your respective programs. ATTACHMENTS: Adult Literacy and Libraries Community Partnerships Adult Literacy through Libraries Building a National Movement
